AGA-Bern Schwartz Family Fund Research Scholar Award in Pancreatic Cancer (Fund B)

This award provides $100,000 per year for three years (totaling $300,000) to early-career faculty (i.e., investigator, instructor, research associate or equivalent) working toward an independent career in digestive disease research.

The objective of this AGA Research Foundation Research Scholar Award (RSA) is to support early-career investigators working toward independent and productive careers in pancreatic cancer research by ensuring that a major proportion of their time is protected for research (i.e., a minimum of 50 percent effort dedicated to the proposed project). The award will support junior faculty (not fellows) who have demonstrated exceptional promise and have some record of accomplishment in research.
